Friday Random 10, plain and boring edition

The rules: Take out your iPod or other musical device. Put it in "random" mode. Hit "play." Write down the first ten tracks that come up--and no fair putting in ones you think will make you look cool, or omitting ones that make you look like a total dork.

Here are mine for today:

1. Sonata in C Major, K. 279, i. Allegro (Daniel Barenboim, Mozart: The Piano Sonatas)
2. Gregorio Allegri: Miserere (The Sixteen, Renaissance: Music for Inner Peace)
3. Next Year (Foo Fighters, There Is Nothing Left to Lose)
4. Thomas Tomkins: When David Heard That Absalom Was Slain (The Sixteen, Renaissance: Music for Inner Peace)
5. Suspicion (Asia, Astra)
6. Concerto for Three Harpsichords No. 2 in C Major, BWV 1064, i. Allegro (The English Concert, Bach: Complete Harpsichord Concertos)
7. In Nomine a 5 (Fretwork, Armada: Music from the Courts of England and Spain)
8. Last Beautiful Girl (Matchbox 20, Mad Season)
9. Listen (Tears for Fears, Songs from the Big Chair)
10. Das Wohltempierte Klavier, Book I, Prelude in C sharp minor, BWV 849 (Daniel Barenboim, J. S. Bach: The Well Tempered Clavier, Book 1)

Comments

[Incertus]

I think you're the only person who will openly admit to having Astra on your iPod. I had it on cassette back when it first came out, and I think I still have Alpha on vinyl, but I haven't listened to Asia in years, except in "The Forty Year Old Virgin."

I have the first three albums on my iPod, actually. Astra was the worst of the bunch, but there are still a couple of good tracks on it. They were big when I was in college the first time, and the guy I had a crush on at the time was a huge fan. Probably one reason why I still like their stuff ;-9
